Hi Shaun,
Yes it's in the horse form in brackets next to the race prizemoney. This is the figure actually earned by the horse in the race.
Let's say your horse has a career API of 13.6, that's $13,600 per start.
Now take his last three races, might be $800, 4,800, $13,000 for example.
That's $18,600 / 3 = $6,200 API last three starts.
This tells you that the horse had some earlier better class wins or placings than currently or sustained a better win S/R as say a 2 yo. If the last three starts API is higher than the career API, then the horse is in peak class and form or consistency at that level.
This is a guideline only and objective judgement needs to come into play.
